Sentido y sensibilidad es una obra de origen británico, publicada en 1811 y escrita por Jane Austen. Es la obra prima de la escritora, publicada con el seudónimo de A Lady. Su éxito logró que fuera llevada al cine. El tema central parte del seno de la familia Dashwood, donde al morir el padre las dos hermanas Daswood, de personalidades completamente distintas, deben abrirse paso en la sociedad inglesa del siglo XIX, una sociedad cargada de hipocresía y afanada en aparentar. Las hermanas Daswood aparecen con los nombres de Elinor y Marianne. La crítica literaria ve en ellas el contraste del ser humano, dividido entre el sentimiento y la razón. Elinor, representa la razón y el sentido; y Marianne, la emoción a través de la sensibilidad. De allí el porqué del título de la novela. La valoración crítica indica que puede describirse como un ensayo sobre la psicología humana. En Sentido y sensibilidad aparecen, de forma notoria, la vulgaridad y la ambición de la época napoleónica, en que la Ilustración destruye toda estructura de la fe medieval y la ciencia inspira una nueva forma de filosofía que enfatizaba la búsqueda de los placeres terrenales. #122 en Clásicos ??/02/2016 #119 en Clásicos 03/03/2016 #75 en Clásicos 06/03/2016 #10 en Clásicos 25/03/2016 #10 en Clásicos 29/04/2016 #79 en Novela Histórica 13/05/2016 #10 en Clásicos 20/05/2016

Fanny Price is a young girl from a large and relatively poor family, who is taken from them at age 10 to be raised by her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas, a baronet, and Lady Bertram, of Mansfield Park. She had previously lived with her own parents, Lieut. Price and his wife, Frances (Fanny), Lady Bertram's sister. She is the second child and eldest daughter, with seven siblings born after her. She has a firm attachment to her older brother, William, who at the age of 12 has followed his father into the navy. With so many mouths to feed on a limited income, Fanny's mother is grateful for the opportunity to send Fanny away to live with her fine relatives.

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England between 1792 and 1797, and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

The next day, soldiers recapture the convict while he is engaged in a fight with another convict; the two are returned to the prison ships from which they escaped...
